Fabio’s the identical twin of yesterday’s Reason to Love Comics, Gabriel BÃ¡– literally, not artistically. Together, they’re like the Brazilian Wonder Twins of sequential art, transplanting their work to the United States so we naive Americans can be exposed to beautiful comic art. As I was informed yesterday, their work De:Tales was, in fact, translated and printed in America. Dark Horse has a preview of it, and our own MarkAndrew wrote a review of it. Check it out.

The first time I saw FÃ¡bio’s art was on the graphic novel Smoke and Guns, an AiT/PlanetLar book written by Kirsten Baldock that’s about cigarette girl gangs. Awesome, right? Verily.

As you’ve probably noticed by now, FÃ¡bio’s got a very fluid, inky style, as opposed to his brother’s more precise and “geometric” linework. As FÃ¡bio himself once said, the more ink pots he gets, the more technical pens BÃ¡ gets. They’re both fantastic artists cultivating their own unique styles, and they produce great work.

Currently, FÃ¡bio is drawing Matt Fraction’s Casanova, tag-teaming the albums with his brother. It’s a book about duplicity drawn by twins. FÃ¡bio brings a different sensibility to the title, but it still has the groovy swerve of a psychedelic Euro-pop spy comic, as it should. The electric blue coloring gives it an extra jolt of energy. Here, check out some gorgeous, flowing art from issue eight:

And trust me, no one draws a cooler or sexier six-armed space cowgirl like FÃ¡bio Moon.

FÃ¡bio also just finished up a short run on a webcomic with none other than writer Joss Whedon! Called Sugarshock, it’s a manic joycore pop explosion about a rock band. Key words include: robots, aliens, princesses, vikings, intergalactic battle of the bands, and humorous sound effects. Moon pulls off the wacky but infuses it with pure coolness, like the art is an effortless expression of what it means to be weird and hip. I love it.

Casanova (mini-)week is fantastic. There’s not a more deserving book or creative team on the stand. Except maybe Fell and its.

True or False: The “electric blue” in the current Cas album is actually pure cyan?

iT MAY BE A STUPID QUESTION, but why arenâ€™t their last names the same?

Moon said it was “an art thing” on their blog a while back; no further explanation has been offered, as far as I’m aware.

Speaking of last names, people might prefer Simonson’s signature, but Moon’s (see the De:Tales cover above) gets my vote every time. The crescent is so perfectly simple and iconic. It’s a moon! Brilliant!
